The Doors and Queen.

Hendrix. Original Who.

Duke Ellington

Prince Fari

Bo Diddley

for starters

All the above.

Plus Led Zep
Plus Garry Moore

And Cash

Layne Staley, Dimebag and Cliff Burton

Funnily enough, am just watching a Gary Moore YouTube vid thinking how lucky I was to have seen him twice. So shocked at his death.

The following original line ups
The Doors
The Who
Joy Division
Queen

Also Howlin Wolf, Muddy Waters and Elvis.

Yeah, The Doors would have been interesting!

I saw Queen at the Playhouse in Edinburgh in 1976. Bohemian Rhapsody had just made it to #1. Most of the set was stuff from the Sheer Heart Attack album. 😆

Duane Allman
Muddy Waters
Lightnin' Hopkins

Good shout on Lightnin Hopkins. Pretty much any blues artist from the time. Also like to have seen Sonny Boy Williamson II and John Lee Hooker.

Got to be The Doors with Jim Morrison. Saw Doors 21c with Ray & Robbie and Ian Astbury singing a few years ago but it wasn't Jim.

Nothing. Absolutely silent. No speaking etc.

Bob Marley
Sparklehorse
Joy Division
Dimitry Shostakovich

The clash.

The Clash

Oh and Limp Bizkit before Fred Durst died on the inside.

Definitely Led Zeppelin with Bonham, Sparklehorse and Joy Division as others have mentioned as well!

Otis Reading.
Rory Gallagher.
Pink Floyd. Dark side era.
Genesis. With Peter Gabriel.

Got to see some of those mentioned above. Queen x2, SRV, Jeff Healey, Pink Floyd Pulse era, Gary Moore. Metallica with Cliff Burton.

Words can not describe how bad Nirvana and Cobain were.

+1 for many of the above, as well as

Janis Joplin
Pink Floyd w/Syd Barrett

Paul Kossoff
Randy Rhoads
Les Paul

Stuart Adamson w Big Country

Hendrix of course
Jaco Pastorius
Ian Dury, Miles Davis and John Martyn again (and again)

For me it has to be Frank Zappa and Iron Maiden with Paul Di'Anno

Elvis.
Eddie cochran.
Buddy holly.
Gene vincent.
Jhonny cash.
Billy fury.

To name just a few of the rock n roll/rockabilly greats that every teddy boy would sacrifice his best mates right nut to see.

Surprised I am the first in with James Brown.

The Doors and Marvin Gaye are the others that first spring to mind.

Good call on Curtis Mayfield jami1974

Thin Lizzy with Phil Lynott.

Robert Johnson
Charley Patton
Son House (in his prime)
Sex Pistols (with Sid)
Ramones
Plus lots and lots of others

Only one, Freddie Mercury 🙁

Cheers MSP. Got to admit Marvin Gaye and James Brown would be amazing! Bought a ticket for James Browns last tour and was then too unwell to go... Gutted.

The Band about 1969 an more recently Levon Helm at one of his midnight rambles.

The Go Betweens

Surprised I am the first to suggest Frank Sinatra and the Rat Pack

a lot of those already mentioned (but not all, especialy not the Doors)

but absolutely Tim Buckley 🙂

Oh and his son Jeff!

I was lucky to see Queen.

Had tickets to see Nirvana but the gig never happened.

Ac/Dc with Bon Scott I'd love to see. And Floyd to the power of infinity.

And Elvis.

Thin Lizzy - I remember the day Phil Lynott died. He was turned away from the nearest hospital IIRC because the A&E department had been closed due to budget cuts. He might well have lived had it not been for the delay in reaching the second hospital.
Jimi Hendrix
Mozart

Elvis.
Eddie cochran.
Buddy holly.
Gene vincent.
Jhonny cash.
Billy fury.

To name just a few of the rock n roll/rockabilly greats that every teddy boy would sacrifice his best mates right nut to see.

I'm no teddy boy, but by fek that's some list! 🙂
I was thinking Buddy Holly myself when I opened the thread, and Elvis when he was young
Then Queen
Then the Sex Pistols

Surprised I am the first to suggest Frank Sinatra and the Rat Pack

Then the Sex Pistols
